K0SP 2035 - METHODES QUALITATIVES NIVEAU II (Français/Anglais)

This course is designed to familiarize students with the craft of doing qualitative research through first-hand experience. Students will gather in groups to conduct their own project in relation to the broad theme “Paris and its peripheries: public space and political life”. By inviting them to “get their hands dirty” in real research, this course provides students with the opportunity to reflect on the practical challenges of qualitative methods in a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. The 12 sessions will combine discussion time on the ongoing research projects and brief comments and remarks on the politics of qualitative research (research ethics, data collection and archiving, team work, qualitative data analysis software, writing, conducting research during a pandemic, etc.).
